OUR AREAS OF SERVICE
Grand Blanc is home for us — our shop is on E Reid Rd. Most of what we see here is block wall sitting on clay, and clay is what moves walls. Water in a basement is rarely only a basement problem — it feeds mold in the air upstairs and, given long enough, weakens the ground your foundation rests on.
NowDry has worked on Grand Blanc basements for more than 25 years. We are family-owned, licensed and insured, and we cover Grand Blanc, Goodrich, Swartz Creek and Burton. You get a straight answer about what is wrong, a written fixed price, and a lifetime transferable warranty on the work.

Reliable Basement Waterproofing Services
A wet basement in Grand Blanc almost always comes down to one of three things. Water pushing through the wall. Water coming up where the wall meets the floor. Or a sump pump that cannot keep up with a heavy rain. We work out which one you have before quoting anything.
Then we fix the cause rather than the symptom. That might be an interior drain tile line, an exterior system, a new pump with battery backup, or a crack injection. Most jobs are some combination. Here is what we handle:
Every job carries a lifetime transferable warranty, so it moves with the house if you sell. Inspections are free, and we will tell you when you do not need us. Call (810) 343-4789.

WHY IS THERE CONDENSATION IN MY BASEMENT?
Water in a basement does three things. It ruins what you store down there. It feeds mold in the air your family breathes upstairs. And over years it softens the soil holding up your foundation. Fixing a leak early costs far less than rebuilding a wall that has moved. A dry basement is also usable square footage, which a wet one never is.
WHAT ARE THE SIGNS MY BASEMENT NEEDS WATERPROOFING SERVICES?
Look for a musty smell, chalky white patches on the block, water stains along the joint where the wall meets the floor, standing water after a storm, or new cracks. That white powder is efflorescence, and it means water is moving through the block and leaving minerals behind.
If your sump pump runs nonstop in heavy rain, or you have had water more than once, that is a drainage problem rather than bad luck. It will not fix itself.
CAN YOU SEAL A BASEMENT FROM THE INSIDE?
There are four. Interior drain tile collects water at the footing and sends it to a sump pump. Exterior waterproofing digs around the foundation and seals it from outside. Crack injection fills a leaking crack with epoxy or polyurethane. A sump pump with battery backup moves the water away from the house.
Most Grand Blanc basements need a combination, usually interior drain tile plus a pump that can keep up. One warning: interior sealants and paint-on coatings do not stop water that is under pressure. They hide it for a season, then it comes back through somewhere else.
DOES COVERING THE PIPE IN MY BASEMENT HELP WITH WATERPROOFING?
It depends on how much wall is involved, how bad the water problem is, and which method actually fixes it. A single crack injection runs a few hundred dollars. A full perimeter drain tile system with a new pump runs into the thousands.
We will not quote a number over the phone without seeing the basement, because a guess helps nobody. The inspection is free, the estimate is written and fixed, and we offer financing. Call (810) 343-4789.
WILL I NEED PERMITS FOR MY BASEMENT REFINISHING PROJECT?
Some of it you can do yourself, and you should. Clean the gutters. Extend downspouts at least six feet from the house. Regrade soil so it slopes away rather than toward the foundation. Test the sump pump twice a year. Those steps cost almost nothing and solve a surprising number of minor damp problems. What you cannot do yourself is install drain tile, straighten a bowing wall, or seal a crack that is under hydrostatic pressure. Those need excavation, engineering, or both.
